Canadian utilities play an important role with regards to the electrification of transportation, including electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), for both high-powered and low-powered electric transit systems, as well as hydrogen fuel cell electric transit systems.
Canadian transit agencies recognize the need to develop robust utility relationships to ensure sustainable electrification initiatives. However, most major utilities in Canada are poorly prepared for transit electrification as most of the few utility-led transportation electrification strategies existent in Canada today are focused on light-duty electric vehicles (EVs) as personal passenger cars.
This report provides a comprehensive market scan of electrification of transportation strategies launched by Canadian electrical utilities. It also provides a review of case studies and best practices across North America related to electrification strategies.
